The summing up of my reckoning with life is
as follows: If I have sinned, on my word of
honour, I have been sufficiently punished. That
is certain. As to the fear of hell, I have
wandered through a thousand hells, without
trembling, and have experienced enough of them to
feel an intense desire to depart from the vanities
and false joys of this world, which I always
despised. Born with a heavenly homesickness, I
wept as a child over the filthiness of life, and
felt strange and homeless among relations and
friends. From childhood onwards I have sought
for God and found the Devil. I have borne
the cross of Christ in my youth, and have denied
a God who delights to reign over slaves who
love their tormentor.
